I finally got a workout in last night and I am feeling the pain today. I didi 75 minutes (that is over 800 cals burned:noway: ), but now my leg and foot hurt.

I drank over 100 oz of water yesterday and will try again for that today and stayed under in my cals (thanks to the long workout)

Hope you ladies have a great day and thank you all for supporting me during my lazy period:flowerforyou:

    :laugh: Go Smadag, go Smadag :laugh:

    Yay! and congrats!

    I must have not done enough stretching because I descided to jog on the treadmill yesterday (1 min walk at 4.0, 2 min jog ar 5.2 and repeat) for 20 mins. by the time I finished, my hips hurt.

    i usually hurt a little after my sprint triathlons, but never the next morning. Well, I almost couldn't get out of bed this morning! I am still aching. i think it's because in a tri, I have swam for 20+ mins and rode my bike for another hour before I jog.... so everything is really warmed up, whereas yesterday i only did static stretches for 5 minutes. I still did 25 mins of weights (legs) afterwards, but they aren't hurting

    i am really bummed about the ache, if it persistes, I will have to go see someone.

    And my TOM is due to sart this weekend.... the hormones are killing me.

    I hope you ladies are ready for the upcoming weekend! Any great plans??

    Smadag - as I told you on facebook - I am very proud of you...but maybe you should build back to 75 minutes - start with 30 - and add 5 each workout....but the trainer where I gol told me that you can get as much out of a 20 minute with high intensity and you can a low intensity for longer periods...just a thought

    Lleanak - sounds like an advil morning to me...my hips are always what gets me after I run.

    Check out this thread I posted - it was an awesome evening last night...

    Thats, great. You took that step. I just put a cross trainer I purchased into my bedroom knowing that the other room where it is presently kept is having renovations done to it. Instead of waiting for the renovations to be done, and using it as an reason not to get started I had it moved to my tiny little bedroom. It is so tiny that it takes up a good part of the floor space, I can bearly slip around it to crawl out of bed. But it is a good place to start. I did step on it, and off it. But listening to you this morning encouraged me to get on it and use it. Sometimes its just getting started, even if its just a few minutes a day. How did you know the measurement of your calories for the tremendous workout that you did? I do not know how to measure a workout, estimate in terms of calories built?

    I found the Elliptical on the workout list and entered how long I worked out for.
    I am not sure if cross trainer is there or not but you could always ask others how they log it

    Chrissy I did 30 minutes last week and it just did not feel like enough so I knew I needed to step it up and I feel better after trying to kick my own butt

    I'll do it with you, Smadag.... even with my am walks, I thing I need to increase the cardio in the pm from 45-60 mins up to 70. So ... the plan for my afternoon workouts will be 45 mins cardio, 30 mins (approx) weights and 25 mins cardio.

    Chrissy: As I said in your other post.. you are a StAr!!!!

    Elaina:
    go through the setup for mpf, set your baseline calories and workout goals. As you enter your exercise, it will update for your cals that you should be taking in.

    good luck!

    It's so good to hear from all of you again. I got back from vacation Monday night, and got really sick Tuesday with ANOTHER UTI! I am so tired of this! Anyway, even though I can hardly walk around right now, I 'm ready to get back to it as soon as possible. Have to get better in a hurry - I start back to work next Tuesday, and need to keep up with those high school students. Hope you all have a wonderful Thursday! (I'm going to lay down for a little bit.) Mary

    I'll stick to my one high school student - that's enough for me at one time - what do you do at the school?

    I actually retired one year ago after working as a music therapist for 32 years at the state psychiatric hospital with the most difficult patients in the state - the security behavior ward. Last fall I took a job as a paraprofessional at the local high school, working with students with learning disabilities and behavior problems.
